Tinder’s mission is to bring people together and create meaningful connections. For over 10 years, Tinder has been the place to meet new people. The new generations of daters think differently about relationships — today, they’re looking for more and new ways to connect and share experiences.

Our team in Ghent focuses on these New Experiences: we design, test, and build innovative features that enable new forms of discovery on top of the existing Tinder experience. During this internship, you’ll contribute to an experiment that brings this vision to life.


The Assignment


Develop an innovative feature that helps users find people in a new way and/or tools that enable this. You’ll collaborate with our multidisciplinary Product, Design, Engineering & Analytics team.

You’ll work in a mobile context (iOS or Android) or on the backend that powers the feature. During the intake interview, we’ll determine the exact scope of your project, based on your technical background and interests.


Possible Focus Areas


iOS / Android engineering:
  • Build a prototype using SwiftUI (iOS) or Kotlin (Android)
  • Integrate with Tinder’s existing design guidelines and animations.
  • Explore push notifications, in-app prompts, and micro-interactions.


    • Backend engineering:
  • Design an API
  • Store and retrieve user-generated content.
  • Experiment with real-time notifications or event-driven architecture.
  • Select and justify the appropriate database technology (relational, NoSQL, graph)


    • Expected deliverables
  • Proof of Concept of the feature (working app flow or backend service)
  • Research & recommendations on architecture
  • Documentation of the design (API schemas, wireframes, flowcharts)
  • Final presentation to the team with lessons learned and a demo of the PoC


    • Technology stack
  • iOS: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit
  • Android: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose
  • Backend: Typescript, Java
  • Databank: DynamoDB, ElasticSearch
  • CI/CD: Docker, Kubernetes
  • UX/UI: Figma, Tinder Design System


    • Way of Working
  • You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team with product, design, engineering, and analytics
  • Agile approach: weekly check-ins, demos, and quick feedback loops
  • Access to real user research methodologies we use daily: interviews, surveys, and usability testing


    • What You’ll Learn
  • How to build an app with millions of users worldwide.
  • How to work in an international, multidisciplinary team.
  • How to make an impact with state-of-the-art mobile & backend technologies.
  • How to go through the entire process — from idea to prototype to live test


    • Key Skills
